{One World, One Heart: 2009 Give-a-way}

I heard about this wonderful tradition that has developed in the last few years. Lisa "oceandreamer" Swifka came up with the idea of One World-One Heart in 2007 to coordinate a giveaway to introduce bloggers to one another. She and most of the participants are artists, so you could be a fortunate recipient of a piece of beautiful art.

Winning the giveaway isn't really the point. (Of course, everyone likes to be a winner.) It's a way to touch other people's hearts in a sincere manner. It fosters an audience for new and established blogs. It's an icebreaker to encourage people to introduce themselves on a global level.

And now on to the rules of this give-a-way:

1. Leave a comment to THIS post only.

2. Leave a way for me to contact you (email or blog address) - if I can't get ahold of you how am I supposed to send your prize(s)?

3. Tell me where your from and your favorite color.

4. Enter before 11:59 MST on February 11th.

5. Enter one time only, please.

That's it. Super easy to enter.

Winners will be drawn randomly and posted February 12th (names w/comments will be cut into strips and drawn from a hat)

Arya, (what a pretty name) and your offerings are so neat! The yummy fudge, the gift basket and the candles.......all would so wonderful to win! Each one! Please count me in and come play on my blog too! Happiness to you!Hugs,Patti

Oh yummy! You know what I'm picturing? A nice hot bubble bath, candles lit and munching on fudge. Now I ask you, does it get any better than that?! Sweet giveaways! Please include me in and stop by for a visit if you get a chance.

Hello and thank you for the chance to win such lovely gifts. As for a favorite color I really love most all of them. So hard to choose one. I like black with some other accent color. Favorite depends on what the color is for.Clothing is different than drapery colors, ya know??

I'm from Antipolo, Philippines. Blog hopping around the world was really fun. thanks to Lisa for doing this. I was usually confined with the scrapbooking blogs. But now, wow, my world has new perspective in the wonderful world of art.

What a great giveaway!My favorite color use to be pink but my husband has enlightened me and now my fave is red. I grew up in southeast TN, live in the Midwest now, but inbetween the two I spent 6 years in Logan, Utah and that is where I think I will always call Home.

HI! I am from Cody, Wyoming. It is in the far northwest corner of the state. As for my favorite color- I have always loved green, like sage, or even hunter green, but I also really like purple. :0)I have to say that Peanut butter fudge looks DELISH!

Anyway, I'm from Colorado and my favorite color is purple or green depending on my mood. But I'm particular as to what shade. I'm more prone to royal purple (or darker shades of purple) and darker shades of green.

What a lovely prize. Thanks for the chance to win. I am from Texas and my favorite color changes with what it is being applied to. Working on a Vintage project right now so very much concentrating on pale greens, beiges ect.

I'm Jen, nice to meet you! A bit about me, my favorite color is moss green but if I choose something to wear I lean toward red...weird. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa right now - home of the Pittsburgh Steelers! We are going to the Superbowl this weekend and the city is all abuzz!

Thank you for inviting us to participate in your drawing, and let me invite you to mine! Jen

You had me already in the peanut butter fudge... The tin it's in is also a darling :-) But the vanilla spa set... AND candles too! You're spoiling your winner rotten! :-D

I'm from Finland, I live in Sweden right now :-) My favorite color... that's not so simple to answer. I don't have only one, you see. I love deep, spicy red, and peacock colors, I love green and teal, go bonkers over the specific turquoise green, almost minty, but warmer... and vanilla is also a good color.My favorite scent is vanilla and fudge, toffee, butterscotch, is my favorite candy :-) Especially with peanuts :-D

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic giveaway! I lovelovelove peanut butter fudge, and I can almost smell that warm vanilla scent... and lemon mint candles too? Could it get any better? :) Please count me in!
